Bono talked to The Sports Virus about Jeremy Kerley:

“…He just gets manhandled. He goes to reach for the ball and he gets out-bodied by the defender also going for the ball, just a bigger person. He’s pretty good, but there are those instances where he is not a big body and gets controlled.”

As we previewed this Sunday’s game at Levi’s Stadium against the Patriots, Bono talked about Tom Brady:

“…He can make an average receiver look good. He can make a good receiver look great. He’s a special one, that’s for sure, and he’ll be slinging it all over the place.”

Bono also talked to The Sports Virus about Brady’s role in Deflategate:

“…If he would have just said, ‘my guys take care of me, people have been messing with the balls for a hundred years and this is how I like ’em so my guys take care of me,’ it would have been done. Nothing else would have happened…It was known around the league that he had been doing it. But, everybody messes with (the balls).”

November 15, 2016 fighton1984

Welcome to the SAN FRANCISCO 49ers EXTRA podcast on TheSportsVirus.com!

Today we have a special on-site podcast with 49ers starting safety Eric Reid at The Brixton Restaurant in San Francisco. We discuss the thebrixton Niners loss in Arizona, the upcoming game against the Patriots and Eric’s decision to kneel with Colin Kaepernick during the national anthem throughout the season.

Reid talked to The Sports Virus about the Niners defensive woes this season:

“…It’s been on us as players not executing the calls which has led to the big plays and the yards. It has nothing to do with the scheme. I personally love the scheme. We just have breakdowns every now and then which leads to those big plays. I think we showed on Sunday that if we execute the play that’s called then we can minimize the big plays and we put ourselves in a better position to win games.”

Listen To ERIC REID

..Steve Bono will be back as usual on Tuesday as we analyze the 49ers/Cardinals game. Thanks so much for listening!

Patton Big Game In Loss To N.O. Bono Says Kaep “Would Much Rather Be Throwing On The Run”

November 8, 2016 fighton1984

Welcome to the SAN FRANCISCO 49ers EXTRA podcast on TheSportsVirus.com!

Bono spent 14 seasons in the NFL. He had a 5-1 record in his 6 Niners starts and finished his career 28-14 overall.

Bono talked to The Sports Virus about Colin Kaepernick’s inconsistency:

“…He would much rather be throwing on the run. He doesn’t have the rhythm in his drop or into his throwing motion. He seems like he rushes them… He doesn’t seem to be comfortable in there (the pocket). I don’t think he sees things terrifically so he wants to get the ball out of his hand, whereas when he’s on the run it’s one or two guys and he can focus in on them and make an accurate throw.”

Bono tells The Sports Virus that there hasn’t been improvement at QB with Colin Kaepernick:

“…He missed a few throws, a few throws were late, a few throws were dropped, then there were some sacks. It’s the same thing that it was with Blaine (Gabbert).”

Bono: 49ers “Probably Need To Stick With Kaep Now” D “Not Built For Run Stopping Up Front”

October 18, 2016 fighton1984

Welcome to the SAN FRANCISCO 49ers EXTRA podcast on TheSportsVirus.com!

Every Tuesday we chat with Former 49ers QB Steve Bono. Today we discuss the Niners 45-16 loss in Buffalo and analyze the first start of the season for QB Colin Kaepernick.

Bono spent 14 seasons in the NFL. He had a 5-1 record in his 6 Niners starts and finished his career 28-14 overall.

BONO

The Sports Virus asked Bono if Colin Kaepernick should remain as the starting QB:

“…I’m partial to Blaine (Gabbert) because I think that he’s worked hard to earn that spot. Has he played great this year? No. Has he played bad? No. But, I think that because Chip already made the change he probably needs to stick with Kaep for right now. You made the change, he didn’t play bad enough to take him out, he didn’t play great enough to go ‘oh yeah, he’s for sure our starter next week.’ (Kelly) seemed somewhat reluctant to announce him as the starter…My hope would be that the difference maker is that he can take off (running) two or three times and make a huge play.”

Tim Flannery: Pinch Hitting “A Mental Game,” “I Think They Can” Depend On Romo As Closer

September 29, 2016 fighton1984

Welcome to the INSIDE CHINA BASIN Giants Podcast

Updated 3 times a week on TheSportsVirus.com!

The final push for the post season continues and our final guest of the regular season from AT&T Park is former Giants 3B Coach Tim Flannery, who is now an analyst for Comcast SportsNet Bay Area and MLB Network.

The Sports Virus talked to Flannery about pinch hitting:

… “Usually when you’re coming off that bench you have a mental game walking to face the closer. One guy on your shoulder is saying ‘I haven’t hit in two weeks,’ while the other guy has gotta say ‘It doesn’t matter, you can get it done, you can get it done.’ So, it’s a mental thing and a lot of times it’s more for the older player.”

Listen To Tim Flannery

Come back next week if the Giants make the post season for a special playoff podcast.
